Foo and Wing Herb Co.
(Incorporation.)

Dr. Li Wing
Secretary and Treasurer.
Son of the late Dr. Li Po Tai, of San Francisco.

Dr. T. Foo Yuen
President.
Ex-official Physician to the Emperor of China.

Dr. T. Foo Yuen desires to announce that he has formed a co-partnership with Dr. Li Wing recently of San Francisco, a son of the celebrated Chinese physician, the late Dr. Li Po Tai, who practiced his profession in the city of San Francisco for nearly half a century.

Dr. Foo has had no connection for nearly a year with the Flowery Kingdom Herb Remedy Company, but has been in business by himself for that period. He has made the present very desirable arrangement with Dr. Li Wing for the reason that his practice has grown too large for him to give it proper attention alone, and because he desires to devote a portion of his time and energies in establishing an Oriental College of Medicine, and in teaching and illustrating the principles underlying the Chinese system of medicine, for the benefit of the American people. His remarkable record, particularly during the past year, in the cure of various diseases by the use of his purely vegetable herbal remedies is at once a guarantee of his capacity for performing this work of instruction and a prophecy of its success.

Dr. Li Wing, the new member of the firm, was trained in the science and practice of Oriental medicine by his father, Li Po Tai, and was also a student at the great Imperial Medical College at Pekin. He has a certificate to this effect from the Acting Chinese Consul-General at San Francisco, and has also papers from Judge Rosenbaum, a well-known attorney of that city, and from others attesting his attainments and experience. He is a worthy successor to his celebrated father, and is unquestionably destined to a very notable career in his chosen profession. Taken together, Drs. Foo and Wing are by far the most learned, scientific and talented Oriental physicians in America, and the most thoroughly representative of all that is best in the Oriental system of medicine.

Persons desiring information, for themselves or their friends, upon the Oriental system of medicine should write for descriptive literature, such as Dr. Foo’s New Gift Book, of 125 pages, which contains a great deal of very valuable information and is sent free on request. Or you may investigate this system for yourself, free of charge. You will be surprised at the favorable impression which you will receive from the winning personality of these physicians, and from the manifest breadth and scope of their information and skill. Diagnoses by the pulse and opinions are given free in all cases. Write to the doctors, or call at No. 929 South Broadway, Los Angeles. Electric cars pass the door. Telephone West 142.

Dr. T. Foo Yuen and Dr. Li Wing.
Please mention that you “saw it in the LAND OF SUNSHINE.”
